when on his way home last night, between
11 and 12 o'clock. The body was then
dragged from the alley to Davis' barn, a
distance of twenty feet and left in the
granery. Davis was found by. his wife,
who became nervous when he did not
reach home. lie lived two hours after being
found, but did nut regain consciousness.
Davis was supposed to have i.;00 on his
person, but all that was gone when he was
found. His watch was not molested. The
shot entercid Just, above the right ear, so
close that his hair was singed. Three bad
gashes, each of which fractured his skull,

Another development was the holding of
Helen Leads as an accomplice. It was

chain of circumstantial evidence is very
strong.

murdered man, came to his death by
wounds Inflicted by some Instrument to

LINCOLN, Dec. 28 (Special.) The action
of the late democratic legislature In taking
from the, control of the State Board of
Public Lands and Buildings the Home for
the Friendless and placing it under the
control of a governor appointed board, and
at the same time changing its name to the
State Public school, has so far proven a
vi ry costly piece of legislation. The report
of the finances of the Institution for., the
six months from June 1 to November 30
of this year, which was made public today
In the governor's office, shows that It has
cost the state for its maintenance JK1.20
per capita. For the same period last year
the per capita cost was $94.52. It is claimed.
however, that this per capita will be re
duced when credit Is given lor meals fur

cording to a comparison of the reports for
the two periods appears to be . up against
a good sized deficit. The per capita cost
of Its maintenance for the six months Just
ended was J113.64 against $103.71. During
the six months this Institution has spent
for maintenance, employes' wages and of
ficers' salaries a total of $37,500. The bal
ance of the appropriation for this purpose
ror tne twenty-two months Is $120,242, allow
ing the expenditure of $6,4fi6 monthly. The
Institution has Spent $6,250 a month during
the last six months.
The per capita cost of the maintenance
of the Lincoln insane asylum for the last
six months, was $1)2.30 against a per capita
cost for the same period in 1908 of $86.30.
The report filed shows that thirty-five
escaped during the six months.
The report of the soldiers' home at Mll
ford had to bo returned for corrections,
while the boys' Industrial school at Kear
ney has as yet made no report.
The per cent of the maintenance fund on
hand In each Institution Is as follows:
Hastings asylum, 70H; Lincoln asylum, 66;
Norfolk asylum, 74'4, soldiers' home at
Grand Island, 634; Institute for the deaf,
72V; institute for the feeble minded,
industrial home at Milford, 76; Industrial
school at Geneva, 68; state school, 61;
penitentiary, 62 per cent.
One third of the blennlum has passed and
to come out with the appropriation the
Institutions should have on hand ' two
thirds of the aproprlations, but Inasmuch
as the expenditures have been for the sum
mer months there should, in the opinion of
the board, be more than two-thirds of the
appropriations on hand at this time.

Goes to Conference
on Guaranty Law
He Accepts Invitation of Governor
Haskell to Meeting" to Canvass
Ways to Defend Act.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 28. (Special.) Governor
Shallenberger has accepted an invitation
from Governor Haskell to attend a con
ference between these two and the gov
ernor of Kansas, to discuss a way to de
fend the banking, law of Oklahoma, which
Is now pending In the supreme court f the
United States.
Governor Shallenberger is much im
pressed with the banking law of Texas,
which goes Into effect January 1 This
law provides that the state banks must
guarantee their deposits either by taking
out an indemnity policy or by a mutual
arrangement He has received a copy of
the Oklahoma law and has the opinion of
Attorney General Thompson that it would
stand the test of the constitution in Ns
braska. ,
"As Governor Haskell suggests," said
Governor Shallenberger, "Kansas, Okla
homa and Nebraska are mutually Inter
ested In the question of the quhranty of
mnk deposits. I notice that the laws in
Nebraska and In Kansas were attacked
from different points so It seems to me
the suggestion for a conference Is a good
one. The attorneys In the case should get
together and see what can be done. I shall
wire Governor Haskell that I approve his
suggestion."
The telegram sent by the governor of
Oklahoma was as follows:
"GUTHRIE, Okla.. Governor A. C. Shal
lenberger, Lincoln Nebraska, Kansas and
Oklahoma have mutual Interests In- the
banking law question. Our test case orlgl
nated In state court. Our law fully upheld-
by our supreme court. Case' now In
United States supreme court on appeal
from state supreme court. Will probably
be reach about February or Maroh. I be
lieve all three states are mutually. Inter

have decided to Invite conference and mu

Russian Revolutionists
To. Be Tried in February
ST. .PETERSBURG, Dec, 2t.-tA.rter two
years' 'confinement In the fortress, Cath
erine Breshkovskaya, who is to be placed
on trial' In February on the charge of being
a member of the revolutionary organisation
was today allowed her first conference
with her counsel, M. Zarudny, for a dis
cussion of the defense.
M. Zarudny said, later that he had found
Mme. Breshkovskaya In surprisingly good
health, bright and cheerful, but utterly
unreconciled to the government. She de
clined to ask for a transfer to the prelimi
nary detention prison, and may possibly
refuse to prevent a defense.
Nicholas Tschallkovsky, who will be tried
at the. same time, on a similar charge, will
present a series of -alibis for the specific
instance of revolutionary activity with
which he Is accused,- and a denial of mem
bership In the Social Revolutionary
organization, although sympathising with
Its alms.
The . joint indictment, -found against
Tschalkovsky nd Madame Breshovsknya
and aerved on them December 25 is a
document of fifty-eight pages. It describes
the careers of 'the two defendants up to
1906, charging membership In the central
revolutionary committee. - 1
Tschalkovsky is quoted as making
rpeeches In favor of regicide and Madame
Breshkovskaya as avowing participation In
the preparations for the assassination of
Von Plehve, Grand Duke Serglus and Con
stantino Pobedonostseff, procurator gen
oral of the holy synod. Both, It Is alleged,
were members of the Peasants' union and
Incited agranlan disorders In various parts
of Russia.
The Indictment separately charges Tschal
kovsky with visiting the United States Jn
1906-7 to arrange for the shipment of arms
to Russia and to collect funds. It cites
the revolutionist organ in substantiation of
this.
